Corked bottle. Orange color. Mango and lychee in the aroma. Malty sweet, alcoholic flavor with a considerable dry out effect in the mouth. Mango and lychee notes overpowered by the alcohol. Some red berries and earthy hops. Tobacco in the aftertaste. Could be good, but lacks balance because of too much alcohol.

courtesy of fiulijn - cloudy dark orange colour with a foamy and chaotic head; very hoppy with notes of tangerines and litchis; full-bodied and juicy, slightly oily and with a robust carbonation, robust but not aggressive bitterness; dry and bitter fruity hoppy finish - very nice

"the base (unbarreled) beer in The Woodwork Series, but the only one we’ve seen so far. nice spicy hop aroma, with some heavy musty malts in the aroma as well. pretty dark orange. full bodied for the style, a touch sticky and a touch hot. the alcohol is prevalent all the way through, but the flavor is very nice bittersweet pine and spice."

375 ml bottle. The Woodwork Series Base. Wood aging time 7 days. Pikkulintu, Helsinki, Finland.
Hazy amber colour with a big foamy off-white head. The aroma is very malty, very very malty. Some citrusy and soapy hops and even more malt. The flavour is strong. Malty it is. Maybe the different aging would give some depth and dimension? But all the percents, all 11, very well hidden. Some hoppiness in the aftertaste. Not bad.

Bottle from State Line. Pours turbid copper w 3 f ow head. Nose is very fruity, malty, slight hops, some funky florals. Tastes very resiny hoppy, with that awesome NS hop flavor, some malt, fruit, and a rich finish. Like a Birkenstocks and grey PSU-sweatshirt-wearing Penn State coed with unpolished toes and some underarm hair, this one tastes much better than it smells, and just as enthusiastically meets and greets your papillary glands while grabbing yoiur hair and making you happy to devour her (it...the beer, I mean...seriously). She is nice, yes.
